Удачный отдых Have a good rest

This year I planned to celebrate my birthday in Europe. My friends offered me in Turkey, but since I had already been there 2 times, I categorically refused. And this should happen - the tour to Europe is disrupted due to the fault of the tour operator, and they are urgently looking for an alternative - Turkey. We found a good hotel in Side, but at the time of payment, a tempting offer came up at Crystal Paraiso Verde Resort & SPA in Belek. After thinking for 5 minutes, we decided... And we did not regret it! Very beautiful, cozy, family-run (although if you go with a group - it's also good), well-thought-out hotel. Only the three of us traveled from the airport in a minibus - it turned out to be an almost individual transfer (tour operator TEZtour). We arrived at Krystal at about 10:00 and, by the number of visitors, realized that we would not be accommodated before 14:00. We handed over our luggage to the luggage room, went for a late breakfast, walked around the territory and arrived at the reception by 11.00. We calmly talked with one of the employees, expressed our wishes about the room (higher and overlooking the garden), did not give any bribes - and after 30 minutes we were settled in the 1st building. Of course, later we thanked the boy - we treated him with Ukrainian delicacies + $ 2 and that's all... During the rest, we didn’t scandal with anyone: the rooms were cleaned every day (regardless of whether you hung a sign “please clean the room” or not, even without on the bed); the mini-bar was replenished through an application at the reception or simply walked around the floors and asked each room if it was necessary... The location of the buildings in the hotel is very good - away from the pools and music events. The only sleep disturbers were the frogs that lived in the garden pond - but you can't get away from nature. The ultra all inclusive system is all inclusive + imported drinks until 23.00 in the lobby bar (whiskey, martini, Baileys) for free, 2 times visiting Ala carte restaurants on reservation and a lot of food in the main restaurant, in the pool bars and on the beach. There was ice cream, and fruits, and grilled meat, and seafood - you just had to find out where and when to find it. Mezim saved everyone. A lot of children - children's animation worked flawlessly (Benjamin is just super). Adults who lacked movement were provided with courts, mini-golf, a fitness room, a shooting range, yoga, aqua aerobics, etc. . Information about the free Turkish bath at the hotel is not reliable - only the steam room is free, and all other procedures are paid, but you can bargain. Indoor "heated" pool - it's warm under the dome, and the water is like a regular pool; . We were at the pools only 2 times. Why wallow in bleach, if there is a wonderful sea nearby. Go to the sea for 7-10 minutes on foot - it’s good, especially after restaurants, to unload. The path to the beach is blooming, runs next to the local river - beauty. If you are too lazy to go, then every 3-5 minutes a tractor rides, picks up even along the way. The beach is large, clean, dishes and glasses are constantly removed. There are enough sunbeds, live turtles crawl. We didn’t even go to dinner - we ate at the bars on the beach. The sea was stormy, but there was also calm. We were lucky with the weather. Every evening in the amphitheater there are interesting events that always end with 2 fun club dances. And then Disco! Everything was so good that I didn't want to leave the hotel grounds. In recent days, we went to the neighboring evening market for souvenirs, since in the shops at the hotel everything is 2-3 times more expensive. A lot of rest in the hotel Germans, Poles, local Turks! and, of course, the Russians. It's a shame that the latter had to blush the most in terms of culture....For the whole vacation I can find only 4 minuses: the extra bed in the DBL + EX bad rooms is just a big folding bed; loud frogs; to sign up for restaurants (we ended up in Mexican and Italian), you need to stand in line for an hour to be in the top three; and that the representatives of TEZ tour did not react in any way to my birthday. In the morning at the first meeting, we hinted to IZMIRU that today is the name day. He said that so be it - we will send you a “compote” to your room....that's where it all ended. So that evening we came to dinner with our champagne and fixed everything ourselves. But these cons are nothing compared to the mass of positive impressions. I wish everyone a pleasant stay at the Crystal Paraiso Verde Resort & SPA (or hotels of this chain). There will be questions - write.
